how to choose flood lights?
2Choose flood lights by matching lumen output, beam angle, mounting height, environment, color temperature, controls, and efficiency to the actual application.

Project Reference: Porsche Factory, Germany
Product Model: XJ-HBS High Bay
Brand: SEEKINGLED
This note was written after the lighting installation phase was completed and the fixtures had been running under normal production conditions.
The project involved replacing and supplementing existing high bay lighting inside a Porsche manufacturing facility in Germany. The building is a typical automotive production hall: high ceiling, wide spans, moving equipment, and long operating hours. Lighting here is not decorative. It either works, or it becomes a problem very quickly.
Site Conditions and Early Considerations
Before confirming the XJ-HBS led High Bay lights, the main concern was not lumen output on paper, but how the light would behave over the actual work zones. Assembly lines, inspection areas, and transport lanes overlap. Shadows matter. Excessive glare is also an issue, especially where workers look up or toward reflective surfaces.
Mounting height was fixed by the existing structure. There was little flexibility. That limited our options early on.
At that point, the XJ-HBS was selected mainly because its optical distribution matched the hall layout without requiring additional reflectors or complex re-aiming.
Installation and On-site Observations
Installation followed the factory’s standard safety procedures. The fixtures were mounted onto existing points. No structural changes were made.
One thing we checked during commissioning was light consistency across adjacent bays. With automotive production, uneven lighting becomes visible fast, especially when surfaces are metallic or painted. The output from the XJ-HBS units remained consistent across the tested zones.
We left the lights running through normal shifts before final sign-off. Heat buildup around the fixtures was monitored during this period. No abnormal behavior was observed.
Operational Notes
After handover, feedback was minimal, which in this context is usually a good sign. When lighting causes issues, it is reported immediately. In this case, there were no adjustment requests related to glare, flicker, or insufficient brightness.
The XJ-HBS High Bay has continued operating under long daily cycles. From a maintenance standpoint, accessibility was considered acceptable within the factory’s existing service routines.
This project did not require special customization. It was a straightforward industrial lighting application, executed within the constraints of an active automotive factory.
